The phone number for the congressional switchboard which will connect you to any member of congress is: 1-202-224-3121. Let these members of congress fully understand that corporate censorship is as egregious as government censorship. Make them understand clearly that CENSORSHIP IS NOT AN AMERICAN VALUE.
Why is this important? As most of us cannot saunter into Tiffany's on Fifth Avenue and buy a "rock' the size of J-Lo's ego--very few of us could pay the higher toll when competing against corporate Goliaths. Consequently, most of us unwashed slobs would be discriminated against, as we watched our content of choice travel at a snail's pace, or just being flatly "blocked' to any audience in favor of increased corporate propaganda"I mean "public relations'"no--I mean propaganda. In short, without Net Neutrality most of us would be at the mercy of a corporate "Nanny-Gate,' deciding what we may see and write online. This type of corporate censorship would probably destroy the alternative press (or at least until we find another ISP). It was the alternative press which broke stories such as the lies Bush and co. told to begin an illegal and immoral war of empire. Without the vigor of an alternative press, we are reduced to the intellectually bankrupt antics of Snookie or Rush Limbaugh.
While this doesn't represent the obvious government censorship practiced in communist China or other totalitarian dictatorships--IT IS CENSORSHIP--just accomplished by a "corporate coup' courtesy of the political whores in the GOP.
